https://t.co/7gBKDJBbql My column on the Dropkick Murphys album cover design, a fitting Irish-Catholic tribute to Woody Guthrie ­– a man not known for his church attendance but who viewed Jesus Christ as a hero. Loaded with religious symbolism. #dropkickmurphys

@katherinejlucky @CTmagazine Well done!

Watching an NCIS rerun with @PauleyP wearing a @PsychWardSirens t-shirt triggered mega fond memories of interviewing her 15 years ago. Never expected to be a @HouRollerDerby photographer and shoot the Sirens. Loved the swirling notions of her mind. Kind and unpretentious.

God bless those who create safe spaces for at-risk kids, as well as offer treatment for heroin addicts. What a story. 'Spiritual first responders' turn to boxing and the Bible as epidemics collide - ABC News - https://t.co/15NQ9ClsRO via @ABC

“We’ve made a lot of accidentally smart decisions,” Patrick Carney said, “but one of them is to not sign to the label that would’ve given us more money than we’ve ever seen, or even imagined, and signed to a label run out of a Taco Bell in Mississippi.” https://t.co/3NCdjrxUhC

Absolutely nothing startling about an Andy Warhol art piece of an electric chair in Alice Cooper's garage. Strangely fitting. https://t.co/Cbgk1teNLr

Big fan! “We try to suppress the thought of death, or escape it, or run away from it because we think that’s where we’ll find happiness,” she said. “But it’s actually in facing the darkest realities of life that we find light in them.” @pursuedbytruth https://t.co/xuHaqgmZDZ

ORAL ROBERTS DOES IT AGAIN

[Steve Beard @SteveBeard77]

@bobscheer @OralRobertsU Garrett is a junior, 21 years old, at ORU. The jersey he is wearing was worn by his dad when ORU played Memphis State in the tournament back in 1984. Cool circle of life story.

[Steve Beard @SteveBeard77]

Great shot to capture a classic moment in March Madness. Stoked for @OralRobertsU. Thanks @bobscheer.

@bobscheer @OralRobertsU That would be Garrett Smith. He is currently a student. I have so missed roller derby this past year — among many other things. All the best.

[Steve Beard @SteveBeard77]

@bobscheer @OralRobertsU Bob, we met many years ago when I was shooting the Roller Derby World Cup in Dallas. I went to ORU years ago. The guy in the ORU jersey in your photo is the son of one of my fraternity brothers. He is actually wearing his dad’s (my friend) jersey from back in the 1980s. Thanx
